RE: Georgia Southern
a 3 puts GaSo up 9-8, which leads into the media timeout...
T Jones shooting 2 when we come back
the offense is getting out fast and finding the layups...all 8 of our points have been "in the paint"

RE: Georgia Southern
Halftime, Blazers lead 25-22
cant shoot
10 made shots, 9 of them "in the paint"
add 5 FT's, leaving a mere 2 points on shots outside the lane
0-6 from 3point land
at least the 10 made shots came on 8 assists

Terence Jones has 7 points. Rucker and Alihodzic has 6.
Can't wait to find out how bad the officiating is from AttallaBlaze.
It was great officiating: they let Rucker inbound the ball to himself.

RE: Georgia Southern
Purifoy pretty much is the bench. Hoopy doesn't seem to there yet, either health-wise or experience. QT is shooting 28% from the field and 15% from 3pt line. Scottie is Scottie.
Some bad shooting but loved the hustle. Twelve steals and 23 turnovers for GSU. The offensive rebound and put-back by Rucker on Swing's miss late was pure toughness.
Go Blazers, Beat the Flyers
